The story: During a recent chat with a friend, he said "you called at the perfect time, I was having a zen moment". A zen moment...ahhh...you can visualize it right? I am sure he was walking along a free flowing creek, listening to the sound of the water rushing over the rocks, and gazing at the sun shining through the treas. Oh, and I am sure he was sipping a cup of tea, listening to the birds sing, and watching his dog bound up ahead through the tall grass. Wait! That is my zen moment.
I created that zen place in my mind years ago as I was searching for ways to find peace in the midst of a crazy chaotic day. How do you find zen moments as life challenges come rushing towards you? Where is your zen place that will instantly bring a feeling of peace to you? Remember, you don't have to physically be there...you just have to dream a little...be creative...and take yourself to your zen place for a moment of peace anytime. Yes, you can even go there while sitting at your desk pounding away at work tasks.
Time for action: Take some time to visualize your zen place. Etch it in your memory and visit it anytime. You will feel an instant sense of peace and maybe; just maybe...it will give you an opportunity to approach the challenges placed before you with ease and grace.
